Introductory Clinical MRI: Principles, Protocols, and Problem Solving
Sunday, 2 April 2000, 08:00 - 17:35

Last updated 24 June 2008

IN PARALLEL:
Neuroimaging Session:  All Day
Body Imaging Session:  Morning
Musculoskeletal Imaging Session:  Afternoon

Overall Audience Description

Clinicians, scientists, and engineers who are relatively new to MRI and those practitioners who, while they have had some exposure to the field, would like a refresher;
Physicians with a general radiology background and some degree of subspecialty education in MRI, although fellowship training would not be necessary;
Those with specific interests in clinical neurological applications, clinical musculoskeletal MRI applications, and clinical body MRI;
A strong MR physics or technical background is not required, although basic knowledge of common clinical applications will be assumed.


Sunday, 2 April - All day
Neuroimaging Session
Mark A. van Buchem and Vincent Dousset,
Co-Chairs

Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to
Apply imaging strategies to rule out disease;
Describe imaging strategies to analyze epilepsy, stroke, infection and inflammation of the brain and spine, neoplastic disease in the head and neck, hearing loss, and pituitary pathology;
Apply strategies for prenatal and neonatal brain imaging;
Explain why and how these strategies are to be performed.
